As the popular saying goes, "water is life" it is an essential element required for survival. Without water, humans cannot survive for long as our body comprises from 75% body weight in infants to 55% in adults.
This humble element found in nature works wonders beyond dehydration. Scientists state that water plays a crucial role in homeostasis and life. Previous studies have proved that simply sipping an adequate amount of water can also work as disease prevention and health promotion.
And while many of us know the importance of water, a lot of times, we neglect drinking enough water daily. In a blog post shared by Sadhguru, a popular spiritual leader, he explained how to store water for good health, while stressing on the right way to drink water in five points.
In the blog post, Sadhguru takes us back to centuries-old practice by explaining that traditionally water has to be in a metal pot, typically in a copper, brass or some alloy of copper.
He points out that today, a lot of people have shifted to plastic bottles and purifying machines to rely on for safe water, but traditionally, in the olden days, people would wash the copper vessel in the night with a little tamarind and turmeric, smear sacred ash on it, then fill it with water.
Not forgetting to put a flower on top of it, light the lamp next to it and go to bed. The next morning, people would begin the day by drinking that water, which is a simple yet deeply conscious practice.
